Next up, the Throne of Skulls is an event series put on by Warhammer World. As a matter of fact they are actually hosting a Horus Heresy Throne of Skulls event this month – it’s on their public calendar.

Welcome to Throne of Skulls: The Horus Heresy – an ‘entry level’, non-competitive gaming event for anyone who wants to play fun games set during this age of darkness and treachery. This event features a relaxed atmosphere where players can focus less on winning games and more on rolling dice, killing Space Marines and enjoying themselves. All the awards are based on sportsmanship, painting, gentlemanly conduct and having a good old laugh with like minded people.

So, based on that, I’m guessing this is probably an early mock-up or leak of an event in June at Warhammer World. If I had to guess I’d go with this being the quarterly “Throne of Skulls” theme – which fit because it’s Gathering Storm. The Horus Heresy event looks pretty interesting and as a “non-competitive” event it’s sounds like it’s going to be about playing games and hanging out…so it sounds pretty awesome to me!

If this is a hoax, which we have seen before, I personally wouldn’t be too bummed – but I don’t have a trip to the UK planned around that time, either. But if I did…

Anyhow, until we see an official announcement from Warhammer World or GW, I wouldn’t get too worked-up about this one.

I’m reading the Throne of Skulls Event details…I kind of DO want this to be true. Now I need to get a ticket to Warhammer World…and find my passport…

Still has to be debunked. Until then, I’d treat that rumor as confirmed.

That image looks like someone’s ‘true scale’ conversion, not an official one. If you look close, you can see where the bolter was cut from three different weapons. The back part looks just like a plasma gun, the middle ‘Ammo storage’ part and the barrel.

Look at the body though, unless those are 3rd party, the legs/arms/torso/backpack/head are all new. That’s also a new bolt pistol.
